THE Anti-demooratic organs, tho
News and others who are more anti
than democratic, persist in their ef-
forts to stir up discord in the Demo-
cratic party. The effort now is to Gre

Bonner, Gen. Mpxey and others are
giving their influence to split or bolt
from the Democratic organization.

The Fort Worth Gazette publishes
number ofvery interesting and sem
sible letters from editors over the
State, in reply to Inquiries as to the
better policy of the Democratic party
on the question of prohibition
and they write like statesmen
AS a rule the editorial fraternity of
the State coused moderation and con-
servatism in dealing with this ques.
ton within the party and it is no.
ticable that the reckless declarations
in favor of putting the party on
record and declaring that prohibition
is either Democratic or un-Demo-
cratic comes from a few extreme ants.
The probibitionist Democrats are
wont to regard the question in the
light of non-partisan issue; and If
there is fight forced in the party by
the antis it viii evidently be for an
anti plank on the one hand and in
favor of leaving it an open question on
the other.

The Paper Chase Near Paris.

Every season has its game or sport, and
just at this time is the paper chase in full
blast This game is not played as it is in
America and England. There it enlists the
efforts of the toughest, hardest athletes in a
run over miles of rough country. Here the
country is usually passably rough, but the
course is made on horseback, and the players
now and then include women As rule,
however, the players are military officers
1t Is not a popular sport in the sense that all
kinds of people indulge in it. 1t is diver
sion for the wealthy or the military When
it is played, like an American fox hunt, it is
attended by great concourse of spectators
In carriages.
There was fine chase the other day not far
from Paris wherein a woman, an intrepid
rider, made hit. A tent was erected at the
finishing point, and band of music stationed
near it and caterer installed inside. There
was music dancing, eating and other enter
tanment of the same character at the close
of the chase. The event narrowly escaped a
terrible ending The chase was just coming
TO a close, and the judges had just emerged
from the tent to note the arrival of the par
ticipants Mime. FRANCHISE Poncet was at the
head of the crowd riding upon magnificent
Syrian, when the unfortunate beast, pretty
nearly winded, stumbled and fell The in
